Mike Miller is turning into hot property, league executives say. He can expect offers starting north of mid-level exception in 1st year.

Yeah, the whole world is waiting to see what Bonner is going to do!
James, Wade, and Bosh have all stated that they will make their decisions based on what and where BONNER decides.
He will make his decision in a two hour series of telecasts broadcast live around the world.
James is reported to have said, "I don't have any idea what Bonner is going to do, but I wish he would hurry up and decide. It will influence where I will go because no one is doing anything until then!"

According to draft express, this player is compared to Bruce Bowen.

Solid as a rock would be the best way to describe the best perimeter defender in the 2006 draft. Jones wasn’t the flashiest player in Orlando, but he got the job done for his team every single time he stepped out on the floor by doing all the little things. Using his terrific height (6-7) and length (6-9.5), Jones shut down every single player he was asked to match up against, doing a fantastic job not only staying in front of his man, but also intimidating him enough with his quick hands and excellent strength and hustle to force him to give up the ball with his sheer peskiness. When given the opportunity, Jones looked quite content going down to the post to help out on the glass or even rotate over for a blocked shot on a smaller player.

Didn't want to start a thread about him until the Thunder actually waive him, but how do people feel about Kyle Weaver? He's odd man out in Oklahoma City.

reportedly he has an offer from Maccabi.

OKC to waive G-F Kyle Weaver before Aug. 1 to keep from guaranteeing contract for next season, source tells Y! Maccabi already offered deal.

I like him, but I fear his really bad shooting will never allow him to become a legit NBA player. (at least not more than a 3rd stringer). and considering that whoever he can defend well, Hill could defend either, his major quality is not a real need for the Spurs. (for the bigger SGs he isn't strong enough anyhow, so the size advantage he has over Hill doesn't make a difference there)

Nice find, Leslie. Anybody know about what kinds of offers he's receiving in Italy, or whether he's still on the market at all?

[mountainballer]

Bobby Jones signed in Italy!

von Wafer to the Celtics.

The Boston Celtics have signed Von Wafer to a one-year minimum deal, according to sources close to the situation.

Damn but that guy gets around... what is it, now? 5 teams in 5 years?

[FeZZy]

Any answer on that back up 3?

Pete Mickeal will be FA next summer and he's already said that he would try to get a NBA contract. What do you guys think about him?

[mountainballer]

he will be 33 next summer.
and hasn't yet played a single NBA game. (did he? not 100% sure)
so no, I don't think he is an option.
if he had tried 3 or 4 years ago, he might have had the chance for a late NBA career. (like Parker for example)
he had a great career in Europe, so I think he finally will play one or two more seasons in Europe. especially when there might be a lock out.
(I agree that he would have been a very interesting player for the Spurs at some point. if Spurs bring him in instead of Ime Udoka in 2007 for example)
